Shortlisted!

A Sask Book Awards jury has shortlisted Friendly Fire for a New Book Award!

On Friday, I traveled to Saskatoon for the shortlist announcement. Author Brenda Baker hosted the event and announced the shortlists. It was a well-organized event, with a little ceremony to it, and I really appreciated the work done by Sask Book Awards staff, and to the Saskatoon Public Library for hosting it.

Several of the shortlisted authors were there, along with their families and friends, and it was nice to start matching faces to names.

Below are a few photos and a video interview I did with Neil Fisher (aka the Saskatchewanderer).

The Sask Book Awards shortlist is available online here. Congratulations to the other shortlisted authors and publishers, and good luck!

The big reveal.
